HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - aron23 - 12-27-2015

I wanted to share my beginners user guide since the new forum is up and running. These are a lot of things I've learned over the past year I've been on HomeTown MineCraft. This is a great server with lots of great people and always improving. I'm hoping we get enough responses on this that we can request the HomeTown wise elders to add a new section under the Forums for a 'HomeTown wiki' that we can expand over time.


HomeTown Beginner UserGuide
      • HomeTown security (how to protect your creations and ask for grief assistance.)
        • if you get griefed, do not fix it yourself: simply ask in chat for grief assistance, or do /who guardian, /who mod or /who admin. They can roll back the damage for you.
      • VIP benefits
        • 2 and 3 has /fly VIP (great for building new creations)
        • VIP1 has 5 sethomes, VIP2 has 10 sethomes and VIP3 has unlimited sethomes
        • /sethome (name) (example – sethome homebase or sethome project1 (use /home to get a list of your previous /sethomes)
      • How to make $ in Hometown (for buying supplies, etc) Vote for $5 x3 (in game, type /vote and click on 3 links.

        • Q on keyboard to throw item (for example if you have something you don’t want in your inventory)
        • F5 to look at yourself (F5 again to change to a different view)
        • /fly (double space bar to start flying, click space bar again to go higher and left shift to go lower while flying) (must be vip 2 or 3 to have this capability)
      • Lessons learned
        • If your wrist is getting tired and hurts because of using the default commands to move (w=forward, s=backwards, a=move left, d=move right), either stop playing (wrong answer J) get a good wrist support and keyboard and look at buying a new mouse that you can configure for certain actions. I personally have a razor mouse ($70 on amazon, great Christmas gift, ask Santa for next year!) with 12 different buttons including the scroll button can left and right click.

Hope you have found this helpful, please reply and support adding a HomeTown Wiki where we can have the community help add helpful items for newer players.

RE: HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - Arayvek - 12-27-2015

Love the user guide, Aron. Guardian is now enforcer though. Maybe put cool warps in sections like towns, shops, cool stuff, farms, etc


RE: HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - Geckorian - 12-27-2015

useful tips and info, thanks


RE: HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - aron23 - 12-27-2015

Thanks, I can update it to enforcer. Great idea about the warps. Who do we need to talk to, to get a wiki added. Would that be frost himself?


RE: HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - Brockist - 12-27-2015

Can you add ./warp Cambridge and /warp CambridgeCityCentre?


RE: HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - JoBot2014 - 12-27-2015

Awesome guide! I am sure it will be useful for new members


RE: HomeTown Beginner UserGuide - aron23 - 12-27-2015

Thanks Brockist, I will make sure to add it once the official wiki gets created, thanks for your contributions.

Great info Aron and thanks for putting this together! Info on the rank perks could be helpful, I've been with the server for a while and never knew what perks were available to me Tongue
